Indonesian English-(French-) speaking VolcanoDiscovery guide; professional volcanologist guide on request.

In mid April 2008 and again in late March-early April 2009, Anak Krakatau started to erupt again. For this reason, we again offer you the chance to see this spectacular volcano on expeitions that weill be arranged on demand for 1-10 pax.
During this physically EASY expedition, you will have 3-5 full days and nights on and around Krakatau volcano. If it is active, watching Krakatau's fireworks is spectacular and we can go to various viewpoints on Anak Krakatau and neighboring islands as well from a chartered boata at our disposal. This all in a phantastic exotic setting combined with the luxury of pleasant baths, beaches, fresh seafood and excellent organisation from our experienced local crew.
If you feel like joining us on our next adventure to this phantastic volcano, have a look!
